Transcending Intention to Realize Inspiration



I met and chatted with an amazing human being tonight and through our conversation I am inspired to illumine "intention". This meeting was a unique and lovely experience in that we two are very similar in understanding.

We spoke harmoniously and passionately about what we know and what we have experienced when an interesting situation occurred.


As we were sharing what I call a "blue-green, green-blue" moment occurred. I experienced our oneness individualized through our unique energetic forms.

This person began to share their idea of intending, or intention when being in matter, or within the world of forms and I could "feel" the power of this belief of intention as it was being stated, and restated. They said that "We intend to create." There is validity in intending and "teaching" intentions for one to realize the power (and more) that we are, but there is more.

I sensed (felt) an attachment to "intention" so I offered an expanded perspective (beyond intention) through the analogy of "being". When we are in our joy we intend no "thing"; for we "are" all things and more, and thus do not desire things but through inspiration employ them. But as we continued I sensed that what I was sharing was not perceived the same by this beautiful new friend and our conversation slightly fragmented. So interesting and self-illuminating when this occurs. I did not define this person. The limited energy that resonated within my consciousness revealed more to share.

I am now inspired to offer an expanded view for transcending intention.

Though it is very subtle, intention is a form of of suffering. Intention needs some "thing" to occur to justify and satisfy the intention else there is suffering. One will continue intending until the intention is met, and what if this never occurs? They will then suffer when the intended "thing" does not manifest. This is not peace. There may be states of peace, but not realized peace through "being".

Intention implies a duality within one's consciousness. One was something and then intended to be another. One was in one state and intends to know another. There is an "on" and "off" to intention. There is a more or less with intention. Intention is a polarity; but we are more than polarity.

So, is there another way to look at intention to transcend suffering? Yes, and it is through the surrender of "thinking" of what to do, or thinking what should be done (intending), and "being".

"Being" is wholeness.

"Being" is now.

We do not think about how to be, we "are". One does not intend, they flow in inspiration. We can point to wholeness as being a river flowing in now; the living word, the logos, etc. As we are "being" we are not intending to do any"thing", we are flowing in our doing. We are "being" the river.

We are inspiration being inspired.

It is subtle and may seem semantic but realizing inspiration is powerful. We then are inspired and utilizing the mind as a tool, and not being used by the mind or the ego. We are then free. We do not need to do any"thing" but deepen into the moment; into our joy knowing that our knowing is who we are "being". Of course we may do many of the same things we had been doing and intending to do but from a freer and clearer vantage. Who we are is then eternally free to express and be through "being" and not thinking. We are not limited by intention.

We are limitless through inspired being.

Thinking (or intending) is working within a set base of knowledge when inspiration is the rain of potentials pouring through us into creation.

Thinking is limited in scope compared to the infinity of inspiration. Let us realize and transcend the need to intend by opening our understanding to there is more than intention.

In "being" we naturally follow our bliss like the flowers following the Sun.

Let us continue to observe our lives meditatively, and through this non-attached expanded state of awareness we become the love that we are. We deepen into our inspired flow; into "being". We absolve energetic attachments and realize the pure consciousness that IS.
